Default Turbo rc 350

Interested in thought on a twin turbo set up for the rc 350....

ideal setup imo would be twin gt28 turbos top mounted or a single in front or near the Lexus emblem up front. I’m strongly considering having some manifolds made and attempting this. 4-5 psi of boost should put these cars over 400 to the wheels with more reliability than a super charger.

Next questuon ion would be a side from open source tuning is anyone aware of a stand-alone or something with a little faster processing speed and features. Anti lag and launch control would give a turbo rc a nice edge over a FBO rc f

See if you can find a salvage yard LS500 and get some or all of the twin turbo 3.5L V6 hardware/software from that.

Not a bad idea maybe just locate manifolds and go from there. Im Not crazy about the top mount inter oilers for our cars. I think a nice 4 row behind the grill would sit nicely

Why is there no one that has done this yet?

Thats a big motor... Not sure It would fit in the RC without some heavy modification, not to mention the dashboard and ecu and everything else needed would need to be swapped. Unless the whole engine bay was stripped and you started from scratch and could custom fabricate every bracket and extension... I digress, it would be a lot of time and a lot of money... However, it would be really cool

You could always have them rear mounted!
